GRAND RAPIDS — A change of scenery can be a great way to find inspiration.
Jeff Plankenhorn is an Americana singer-songwriter who moved to Vancouver Island after 20 years living in Austin, Texas. The picturesque landscapes of the Pacific Northwest inspired his new album, Alone At Sea.
Plankenhorn recently stopped by KAXE and performed two songs from the album live in-studio. First, the title track, where the inspiration is easy to spot with references to the ocean and different types of boats.

Next, “Maybe It’s Not Too Late,” a song that Plankenhorn called a “unitarian-universalist-everybody-welcome gospel tune.”
